Lowell interviews Yetta Marchuck Selengut on Her Return to Germany after Sixty Five Years

ABOUT YETTA MARCHUCK SELENGUT:

Yetta
Marchuck Selengut, together with her husband Dr. Charles Selengut,
returned to Germany for the first time in sixty five years after leaving
Germany for the United States at the age of three and a half with her
parents on June 15, 1950.

Yetta's parents, Polish Holocaust
survivors Sara and Mordechai Goldsammler z"l (of blessed memory), met in
Tashkent (in the Uzbek Republic of the former Soviet Union, now
Uzbekistan) where they lived as refugees during World War Two.

After
World War Two ended, Sara and Mordechai were smuggled over the border
into Germany by the Bricha, where they came to live in a Displaced
Persons camp in the British Occupation Zone.

When the time came
for Sara to give birth to Yetta, she was sent to a hospital located at
St. Ottilien Archabbey in the American Occupation Zone.

"St.
Ottilien Archabbey (St. Ottilia's Archabbey) is a Benedictine monastery
in Emming near Eresing and the Ammersee in the district of Landsberg,
Oberbayern, Germany. It is the mother house of the St. Ottilien
Congregation, otherwise known as the Missionary Benedictines".
